  The main wiki says that the 40 indicates that it was formula number 40 that the firm's boffins claimed had achieved the desired effect.

Hey gang

Mark has just been in touch with an update:

Just a quick follow up email regarding the bridge relicing.

We're going to change how we do these going forwards, and hopefully avoid the problem where the screws seize up. The process is a bit more involved and takes a bit longer, but it should do away with the problems.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention.....

Rather than fannying about with blowtorches (please don't dop this), squirting it with WD40 (or this) or soaking in a rust removing solution (the actual correct way to do it) why not just send it back to the guy that sold it and get a replacement that works properly?

 

Paying extra to have a bass with knackered parts is nuts, surely you can have the played with sandpaper gloves look while still getting a functional instrument?

To be fair, it looks like the builder has realised that his old production methods gave issues and he's taken steps to address this.
